 by the poet. In one, after depicting the delight of a spring morning, 

 the poet continues : 



" I shakt off sleepe, and tooke in hand a reede, 

 A reede whereto was bounde a slender line, 

 And crooked hooke, wherewyth, for my disport. 

 Walking along the bankes of silver lakes. 

 Oft times I vsed, with false deceiuing baytes, 

 To pluck bright-scaled fish from chnstall waues. 

 Forthwith I bended steps vnto the streames, 

 And pleasant meares, not far from mine abode, 

 Needlesse it were here to rehearse what io3'es 

 Each thing brought then vnto my dolefull minde. 

 The little menowes leapt aboue the waues, 

 And sportive fish like wanton lambes did play."]
